Churchill Tyres Supporting Macmillan Sprint Handicap

Placed in his two 2yo starts and made a winning return at Kempton last month (6f, AW; made all) in first-time cheekpieces, which have been kept since; no obvious excuses behind Hucklesbrook at Leicester on handicap debut and needs a step forward to win this.

Met trouble against the stands' rail when third to Maelstrom at Haydock three weeks ago (6f, good); unexposed and that was a most encouraging start to her campaign, promise fulfilled when she arrived late to win by a neck in the 3.00 here (6f, good to firm) on Friday; now has a penalty.

Strong 6f novice form as a 2yo, winning at Newcastle (easily) and defying a penalty at Carlisle four weeks later; ran a fine race in the Redcar Two-Year-Old Trophy when last seen in October, travelling best but headed in the final 100 yards, eventually losing second close home; that looked a weak renewal of that Listed prize and he was well drawn, so while he's still low mileage he has to show he's worth his 14lb higher mark.

50-1 third of 22 in last year's Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot; similar form when in the frame at Newmarket and Deauville last July; gelded prior to his reappearance and he's disappointed in Class 2 handicaps at Ascot and Newmarket; edging down the weights but others look stronger.

Highly tried after a winning debut last July (6f, good) when trained by Kevin Ryan; best effort when second of ten in a 5f nursery here (soft) last October; three runs in Dubai for Dylan Cunha early in the year, running creditably on the first occasion before two lesser efforts (stiff task latest); changed hands since and he's in a hot race for his stable debut.
